Stock raising naturally foarishes
where the small grains and grasses
grow well. and this fact, combined
with the extremely dry, even winters,
free from the all peryading mud and
dampness peculiar 10 the eastern and
southern states, affords conditions eX-
tremely favorable for health and pro-
fit in the animal industries where ear
ried on in Dakota. TO these favor
able features may be traced the fact
that mortality among live stock is SO
much lower than in the southern
states. as shown by reports of the
United States Department of AgriCul-
ture.
DRowNED.-JOinnie BOsworth. aged
Is years and 8 months, was drowned
in the pond at Putnam's mill while
bathing on Thursday last. With a
comrade he started to swim across
from the main land TO a small island
and was not seen afterwards until tax
en- from the water dead. IS he was a
good swimmer the conclusion is that
he was seized with the cramps and
rendered helpless.
His burial took place at Prescott on
Saturday last. Rev. j. Evans, of the
Methodist church officiating.

when the circus was over; consequent

The ultimate prosperity of country
depends much upon the class of peO-
pie composing its first settlers. In
this respect. the Mouse river and De
Laos region in Northwestern Dakota
are most fortunate. The rush at pres
ent for the rich government lands
there is composed of veil to do farm
ers and mechanics from the southern
and eastern states and from across the
water: usually bringing along house
hold goods, farming implements. teams
and stock ready TO begin cultivation
as soon as a claim is selected. Sew
eral millions Of acres of government
lands are open for entry, SO notwith-
standing the present Tapidity of settle
ment, there is reasonable certainty
that there will be enough TO go around
for some time to come.
